Chapter 969: Exar Leaves (1/2)

Years passed.

Gravis' first stop had been the level five Laws of Storm's Supreme Cutting and Storm's Supreme Explosiveness.

There was not much that could be said about the process. Law Comprehension was just comprehending new Laws.

Gravis simply sat in the Law Comprehension Areas and comprehended the Laws.

After comprehending a Law, Gravis would call Stella and talk to her for a bit. After all, thousands of years had passed.

The first two Laws took Gravis 8,000 years in total.

Luckily, Gravis already knew the Composition Law for the Element of Storm, which made the comprehension far faster. Comprehending the Composition Laws almost always took the longest since one was building a foundation for something completely new.

However, when one knew the Composition Laws, the other Laws would quickly follow.

During that time, Mortis comprehended the Law of Frostlightning and the Law of Punishment Brilliance.

It sure was helpful to be connected to Mortis right now.

Gravis' next stops were the Laws of Inferno's Supreme Cutting and Inferno's Supreme Explosiveness.

Comprehending these two Laws took Gravis 10,000 years.

Now, Gravis had fulfilled the bare minimum to comprehend the Form Law of the Saber.

Of course, Gravis wasn't interested in the bare minimum.

In these 10,000 years, Mortis had finished all the Mixed Elements that included lightning. Mortis had comprehended the Laws of Deep Lightning and Shadow Lightning.

In just a short 18,000 years, Gravis had comprehended eight level five Laws.

This was insanely fast!

The next stop was a rather quick one.

It was the Law of Lightning's Supreme Cutting.

Gravis already knew the Law of Lightning's Supreme Explosiveness thanks to Mortis, which took care of that one.

Comprehending the Law of Lightning's Supreme Cutting only took 1,000 years.

Mortis didn't manage to comprehend a Law during that short amount of time.

The next stop was for the Laws of Frost's Supreme Cutting and Frost's Supreme Shattering.

Gravis' affinity towards the Water Element was okay to good, which meant that it only took him another 6,000 years.

During that time, Mortis barely managed to comprehend the Law of the Blizzard, which was a fusion of the Frost and Storm Elements.

However, just when Gravis wanted to go to his next stop, a message reached him.

”Hey, come over to my clearing,” Arc transmitted to Gravis.

Gravis blinked a couple of times in surprise.

Arc rarely called him, which meant that probably something significant happened.

'Well, I've been comprehending Laws for over 50,000 years by now. That's a long time, even for Immortal Emperors.'

This reminded Gravis of something, and he quickly did some calculations.

Then, his eyes widened.

'Wait. Then, does this mean that I'm already over 100,000 years old?' Gravis thought with shock.

100,000 years.

How long was that!?

Gravis had come to this world when he had barely been 4,000 years old, but now, he was over 100,000 years old? Even more, his calculations told him that he was around 105,000 years old. This little discrepancy of 5,000 years was already longer than his entire life had been before coming to this world.

'That's so weird!' Gravis thought with a complex expression. 'I don't feel much older than before. In fact, for some reason, I feel even younger.'

Gravis scratched his chin as he thought about the strange sensation.

'Is it because of Stella?' Gravis thought. 'Being with Stella makes everything appear brighter, and I don't see everything in a dark haze anymore. It's like I have returned to a time with fewer worries.'

'However, I should already count as an old man,' Gravis thought with a complex expression. 'I am already older than the lifespan of an Immortal King. I don't know how many Immortal Kings go through tribulations, but there are probably not many.'

'Wait, didn't I just recently think that I was apparently destined to be young forever?' Gravis thought with a bitter expression. 'However, in the blink of an eye, I have become an old man.'

Gravis had to laugh a bit as he had these thoughts.

”You coming today, or what?” Arc transmitted with an impatient voice.

”Oh, sorry,” Gravis said with some embarrassment.

SHING!

Gravis took out Arc's emblem and teleported away.

Gravis quickly arrived in Arc's clearing and spotted Arc.

However, Arc wasn't alone.

Exar stood beside him.

”What's up?” Gravis asked.

Arc had his usual smile on his face. However, he didn't sit on the stump but was standing beside Exar, which was unusual.
